Intriguing. Although those sure look like they could be photoshops.

If Penske were around we could ask him to opine.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Any of the pictures tell us if he uses a wide stance?

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Doesn't that make him worse in the eyes of most who care? That he *pretends* to be a member of a cult?

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

It's not, in any sense different than my general discomfort with religion.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

You'd called out 2 and 3 from my list as specifically not a problem, so the question was left.

Democrats Suck
 

I am deeply disappointed in my party.

Are we really going to have a sex scandal WITHOUT ANY SEX?!?!

I mean, come on peoples!

Re: Democrats Suck
 

After admitting to this, he's probably not going to get a lot of sex at home either. :eek:

What a maroon.

ETA: I will be very disappointed with the New York Post if their headline on the story isn't something like "Weiner's weiner."

Re: Democrats Suck
 

Too easy. I predict a "pants on fire" reference.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

We've had a couple of interesting years on the Political Sex Scandal front. Last I counted, I remember:

* Commit adultery (Ensign)
* Hire prostitutes (Vitter)
* Solicitation in an airport bathroom (Craig)
* Pretend to be someone else in order to try to pick up women (Lee)
* Abandon his office for a rendezvous with his lover (Sanford)
* Leave his first two wives after they got sick (Gingrich)
* Have a child with his housekeeper (Schwarzenegger)
* Have a child with batshit crazy film producer (Edwards)

And now,
* Sext pictures of your crotch to women (Weiner)

Good job there, fellas.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

It's like they're using up all the male chauvinist capital it took generations of patriarchial oppression to accumulate in the space of a few months. How long will the world go on taking for granted that us menfolk ought to be running things when these guys are out there with their dicks in their hands and no idea that, for example, strangers can see shit that you put on the internet? Just like social security, the easy assumptions of male competence I thought I would rely on to carry me through my golden years are being squandered, and now my wife is not going to believe a single fucking thing I say for the rest of my life.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

He did this twice????? I thought it was reprehensible to do it once. Wifey #3 better hope she doesn't get cancer until he's used up more of his Tiffany's line of credit.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Don't forget McGreevey.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

True, true.

* Slept with a man who was not his wife (McGreevey)

And, for that matter,

* Sexual email and IMs to your male pages (Foley)

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

And Foley. ETA: D'oh!

And wasn't there someone else from C Street?

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Plus:
* Cultivate and maintain a secret family in Alexandria (Fossella). Goddammit.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Going a little further back, Mel Reynolds and the 16 year old "campaign worker".

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Yeh, but isn't texta-mya-weiner the lamest of the crew? His only real competition is Craig.

I'd like a really meaty sex scandal.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Are you forgetting the (alleged?) diaper aspect of Vitter's hooker visits?

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

I've heard that about you.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Much more interesting than what's happening here. More pitiful, too.

By the way, shouldn't that list include:

http://i.huffpost.com/gen/157338/thu...OTOS-large.jpg

And then's there's the upstate groper, Eric Massa, as well.

Looking at the full list, with Lee-Fosella-Spitzer-Massa-Weiner, I'd say the whole thing is a no-contest. NY wins. Now we know why the Clinton's headed there.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

I'm sorry, but Kwame Kilpatrick on his own wins it for Michigan. When you take in the extent of what happened during the cover-up? Please. The rest of the states can fight over 2, and I wouldn't stand in the way of NY being #2 if that's what the board decides.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Look, I'm glad you've got a star center, but you've got to come to the court with a team or you're not in the game.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Am I missing something? He's married. He lied. But (so far) all he did was text or e-mail with adult women with who he did not act. This is lamer than a married man going to a strip club and lying to his wife about it. Way lamer than Clinton, Ensign, the governor with the squeeze in Argentina, the governator, etc.

Wiener should man up and tell people to fuck off. It's between him and his wife.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Shoulda done that in the first place. Fucked himself by lying about it to the press.

Although he will likely survive with his House seat. But I think he'll have trouble moving up, and I think last week he had a lot of upside potential.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

You miss nothing. His biggest embarassment ought to be the fact that he didn't get any.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

so you're comfortable saying now that tomorrow we won't learn he was fucking whoever? I have never texted an underwear shot or a dick shot to anyone who hadn't felt it in action.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

I don't usually think of you as this optimistic. We can only hope.

Meanwhile, I understand Brigitte Nielsen and Arnold were going behind Maria's back.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Well, duh. Who wants a bad philanderer, a bad liar, and a bad apologizer for higher office?

A bench like the Bruins....
 

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Huh, no one could have anticipated this:

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

And you think that's bad?

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

is it evidence that my prediction, that workers who were insured are likely going to have lesser coverage, was accurate?

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

"It also found that for some, it makes more sense to switch. "

The implication of this (which, of course, may just be poorly written) is that some of those saying they will definitely or probably drop EE'r sponsored plans would not necessarily be making profit-maximizing decisions.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

You know what EE'r plans and subsidized-exchange plans will look like in 2014?

Can you tell Less who will win the major sports championships in 2014, too?

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

do you understand that the word "evidence" has a different meaning than "absolute proof?"

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

So, it is possible that the switch to subsidized-exchange plans could result in workers getting better coverage?

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

As I read it, the EE is going to have to come out of pocket for coverage. Perhaps that's a good thing from a cost perspective, in that there is more of a direct relationship between the insured and the payor, but I don't know how this is good for EEs.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

I don't know how you reach that conclusion.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

oh, yes. but i thought a major component was that "no one will be making an employee change?"

the coverage won't be as good as most people's current coverage. it cannot be.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

I don't know, is it? I hear a lot of complaining about the minimum coverage requirements in the ACA.
